I still think the Sony VAIO PCG-505 (1998) is one of top 5 best looking laptops ever designed.

This level of llvm support for the Z80 would be nifty

I can't tell if these people are just delusional about the importance of their own work and they fear everyone stealing it because it's so great, or if they just use it as an excuse to not contribute to things with non-GPL licenses
